**Sloored** · 09-30-09 21:00

Guys, going to Rio for a Short R & R looking for apartment without 5 - 7 nights required.

We will be arriving 10/29 and departing 11/2.

We are looking for the following:
24 Security/Doorman
Girl Friendly
3 bedrooms
2 baths at least
Cable not required
Internet Access would be nice.

Everything that I have found so far requires 5 nights at a minimum.

Any links or information you can provide would be great.

Post here or PM with details!

Thanks,

Sloozil

The New Year period is in the high season and all rents are higher because of demand. The daily rate of $167 (R$300) for this apartment is a fair price for a two-bedroom unit.

The heart of Copacabana is generally the area of Postos 3 and 4. I am guessing the apartment is on Rua Silva Castro or Rua Tonelero and Figueiredo Magalhaes. This would be near Metro Siqueira Campos and Termas Luomo, and a reasonably safe area.

Proximity to Copacabana favelas depends on the apartment location, (i.e. streets perpendicular to the beach.) There are four favelas in Copacabana. The largest is Pavão-Pavãozinho, near Posto 5. The others are (1.) Morro dos Cabritos on the hill beyond the western terminus of Rua Santa Clara, (2.) Chapéu Mangueira west of Leme and (3.) Babilônia, high on the hill above Leme at east end of Copacabana. Look up the apartment address on Google Maps and you can see the location relative to the favelas.

Having never been to Rio or Brazil before, I have been told that the further away from the coastline you are the more issues there may be with regards to safety. Would an apartment that far from the beach in Copa place it closer to the favellas? I know Rio is huge but I am just not sure if 5 blocks into Copa would be a great place to stay.

I would rather pay a little more as a newbie now if need be

Thanks in advance

Depends on the address. You do not need to be exact. What are the cross streets?

But to post info like 'I get great deals from a supplier' then not posting the details of that supplier does nothing for anybody.

So how do I get this info from you about the company you recomend when you cannot pm me?

Try calling him. His name and telephone number are listed at the bottom of his original post. (#1417 )

It would not surprise me in the least that he did not get a special deal as he can't negotiate, and therefore can't supply any info to you.

Hi Blk Big Bootyluv,

Are you suggesting that a sophisticated world traveler such as yourself can not afford a $20 subscription to support this forum and all the work I do to keep it maintained.

A forum subscription is less than 40 cents a week. That's less than the price of a newspaper.

Thanks,

Jackson

BBB,

You should be supporting this site and all the hard work that Jackson does. The info here is terrific and can easily save you tons of money. Why not use $20 from the great savings you "negotiated" on your apartment rental to support this site?

You seem to be an active participant here.

Too f-ing funny!

I am moving on from this topic. He just does not seem to be willing to take constructive advice. Which could make his trip and negotiating more enjoyable. Plus I get a headache trying to figure out what the message is with all the bad spelling and grammar.

You know when I was a kid I had to agree with everyone but see now Im' a man and I form my own opinion and find resolve in my decisions. Its ok that I don't agree with many on you thats what makes he world great. Many of you just fall rite in line with the common place of getting ripped off while I'll slide in a get my 20% discount by searching and negociating.

And only children find joy in name calling. come on now were all suppose to be adult.

Moreover, the reason y I posted the conversation here was solely to inform. If anyone cares to look at the original post I said look at how customers are treated and not to use them. I assumed that my fellow Mongerers don't like abuse and liked to get a deal. I was wrong for some you.

Thanks to those that agree with me and blessings to those that do not.
